Brazil
Brazil is a unique and extraordinary place offering a staggering array of exotic, colorful and sensual experiences – ranging from the vast natural sanctuaries of the Amazon, to the contagious rhythms of Bahia, to the sprawling sophistication of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Come, and be transported by the way of samba!
Our private Brazil tours have something for every traveller. Sink your feet into the pristine white-sand beaches and dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses. Or cruise rainforest rivers in search of sloths and howler monkeys as pink dolphins swim alongside your riverboat. In Rio, relax on sweeping strands of golden beach with a sliced open coconut in hand, with entertainment provided by teams of Cariocas playing beach volleyball.
Explore the charm of Paraty and Ouro Preto. Venture to the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Iguacu Falls (which is taller than Niagara Falls and twice as wide). Or slow down on the beautiful Atlantic Islands, Fernando de Noronha and Atol das Rocas Reserves.
We love planning private Brazil tours that include the boisterous crowds of February Carnival, or Brazil’s winter from May to August when the celebrated religious folklore festival, Festa Junina, takes place. No matter how you shape your Brazil experience, the largest country in South America does not disappoint!
Each of our private in Brazil tours is masterfully choreographed with special local access and impeccable service.
This is our craft. Our commitment.

My husband and I travelled to Brazil with Eric Sheets and Nils over Christmas and New Years 2017/2018. We had an incredible trip visiting Iguazu Falls, Paraty and Rio. There were a lot of moving parts to this adventure… airplanes, a helicopter, boats and cars and everything was first class and went smoothly. All guides were knowledgeable and kind and accommodations selected were perfect. We were treated like VIPs at every stop thanks to the connections Eric has in this part of the world. Awesome Trip !”
